Eukaryotic Cell Organelles 3

Question 1

What are centrioles?

Answer 1

cylindrical tubes made of protein

made of 9 sets of microtuble triplets

found in pairs = t

found in all animals cells and some plant cells

needed for cell division

can develop into cilia and flagella

Question 2

What is flagella?

Answer 2

long tail on cells

used to make cells mobile e.g. sperm

2 central microtubules surrounded by 9 pairs of microtubules

found in some animal / plant / prokaryotic cells

Question 3

What is cilia?

Answer 3

hair like organelles

same structure as flagella

2 central microtubules surrounded by 9 pairs of microtubules

cilia move objects along the outside of cells e.g. mucus
